Clinker inventory covers five months of demand: Clinker inventory reaches historical high at 25.3mn tons showing an increase of 6.0%MoM and 12.4%YoY due to weak demand and capacity expansion since end of 2015. Overall clinker production of the sector posted an average YTD decline of 1.6%, reflecting cautious steps taken to control costs and the impact of low demand.

Overview: the MoM growth is attributed to the impact of Ramadan and Eid holiday in June/ July that resulted in slowdown in construction. For the 8M-2016, Cement sales decreased from 40.8mn tons in 2015 to 39.3mn tons in 2016 depicting a decline of 3.7%YoY, primarily driven by decrease in dispatches during the months of June and July. Nevertheless, despite challenges, we expect sector cement demand to show sign of recovery in Q4-2016 due to seasonal impact in 3Q-2016(Eid Holidays).
